Yeah, I had posted about 5 days ago, but didn't get a response until today. I believe we're waiting on our dinner partner to return so we can discuss travelling around in service to the Mage guild? Thus, no postitty from me until dinnah time.

I'm...mildly confused as to the ordering of things. Balin was speaking to Jaegarmond and Jhoric, yesh? Did we skip 24 hours, to the next meal? Or am I really missing out on something? Can't really post until I get this figured out.

Okay folks, please post any pre-expedition preparations now. You can get some dried fish and acorn paste, as well as dried berries and few somewhat tastier nuts - sufficent for 1 weeks sustainance - from your various contacts and guilds for the expedition. This 'food' weighs about 1 lb per day and assumes you will be finding all of your water as you go. In any case, there is a big river beside Respite with perfectly potable water upstream - downstream, not so much...

There will be some fast-forwarding during the expedition - we will not be playing out every square foot of the trip, so if there are things you do as a matter of course, please let me know in this thread. Examples would be foraging for food as you go along.

Also, please decide on a marching order and any ususal actions you may choose to do when making camp. I will assume a campfire unless otherwise specified since cold-camps are really not that much fun..

Hooray, precautions! I will forage for food as we go along and I will also make sure that every time we camp we have a watch set out (Everyone is smart enough to know to do that, I just wanted to say that I'm doing it).

Fafnir would gladly aid Toboran in foraging. Fafnir knows his ways about woodlands so he would want to be closer to the front in marching order. Fafnir is strong and if the need arises he can help hack through the denser brush.

Those who walk the shadows, tread a very narrow path between darkness and light. This path will reveal all.

Jaegarmond will keep an eye on the surroundings while the others forage. Demon-forged instincts die hard. Unless there's objection, he'll also try his hand (the non-planted one that is!) at cooking for the group. Marching position: middle of the pack. Once again, instincts die hard, and he knows he's squishy compared to others.

Jhoric isn't a forager, but he can use his Detect Magic invocation if we need to check out something suspicious. Jhoric marches in the middle near the back or actually the back if no one else wants it. He could blast some small animals from great distances for food.. if you're willing to eat chaos-warped meat.
